Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch of the Interacting Process of Copper-Base Alloys with Leaching Solutions under the Action of Different Physicochemical FactorsBagdaulet Kenzalyevich Kenzhaliyev, Ainur Nurkalyevna Berkinbayeva, Rustam Hasanovich SharipovAnalysis of the current scientific and technical data shows the increased difficulty in innovative solutions development for metal extraction from different kinds of mineral raw materials, due to fundamental change in mineral resources base of metallurgy. Apart from polymetallic ores, complex in chemistry and intractable, the basis for the current mineral resources base is formed by technogenic production waste, so-called … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 2 Dec 2015 · 6,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF DRYING PARAMETERS OF CERAMIC BODIESSalah Mahmoudi, Ezzeddine Srasra, Fouad ZargouniThis study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical and geotechnical analyses of representative Aptian clays in the north-east of Tunisia. X-ray diffraction reveals a predominance of illite (50-60 wt.%) associated to kaolinite and interstratified illite/smectite. The accessory minerals detected in raw materials are quartz, calcite and Na-feldspar. The average amounts of silica, alumina and alkalis are 52, 20 and 3.5 wt.%, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2014 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMORINGA TEA BLOCKS ACUTE LUNG INFLAMMATION INDUCED BY SWINE CONFINEMENT DUST THROUGH A MECHANISM INVOLVING TNF-α EXPRESSION, C-JUN N-TERMINAL KINASE ACTIVATION AND NEUTROPHIL REGULATIONMykea Mcknight, Jabria Allen, Jenora T. Waterman et al.Plant based products represent a promising alternative to conventional treatments for inflammation. Moringa oleifera Lam is a tree rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals and a variety of phytochemcals with health benefits. Among the reported health benefits are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether tea brewed from dried Moringa leaves would abrogate inflammation in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 8 May 2014 · 11,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON NIGERIAN MONODORA TENUIFOLIA SEEDEkeanyanwu Raphael Chukwuma, Njoku Obioma UzomaThe nutritive constituents of the seeds of Monodora tenuifolia were analyzed to augment the available information on Monodora tenuifolia research. Blood glucose and lipid profile were investigated on the flavonoid rich fraction of M. tenuifolia in rats. The composition (gkg-1) of alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides, tannins and flavonoids were 13.3±0.1, 21.2×10-2±0.6, 1.3±0.1, 1.7±0.1 and 11.7±1.1 respectively. The proximate composition (gkg-1) of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNatural Radioactivity at an Uraniferous SiteClaudio de Carvalho Conti, Esau Francisco Sena Santos, Isabel Cristina Poquet SalinasThe aim of this study is to evaluate the soil composition, the radioactive isotopes concentration and the outdoor air Kerma in the region of the Uraniferous Province of Lagoa Real, Bahia State, located at northeast of Brazil. It has used data from an airborne gamma-ray survey previously carried out in the region, namely Projeto Sao Timoteo and computer simulations of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2013 · 7,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate Change Adaptation in Acid Sulfate LandscapesChuxia LinOxidation of sulfide minerals produces sulfuric acid and consequently creates Acid Sulfate Landscapes (ASLs), which represent one of the most degraded types of land-surface environments. Although acid sulfate-producing weathering is a naturally occurring process, it is markedly facilitated by human intervention. Mining is by far the dominant anthropogenic cause for the creation of inland acid sulfate footprints while land reclamation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Jul 2012 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractX-Ray Diffraction and X-Ray Fluorescent Analyses of Prehistoric Pottery Shards from Ulu KelantanZuliskandar Ramli, Nik Hassan Shuhaimi Nik Abdul Rahman, Adnan Jusoh, Yunus SaumanProblem statement: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray Fluorescent (XRF) were used in order to obtain mineralogical and elemental composition of seven pottery shards that have been unearthed during the excavation at Peraling Cave and Cha Cave in Ulu Kelantan, Malaysia. Approach: Peraling Cave and Cha Cave were prehistoric sites dating from 10, 000 BC which were inhabited by Hoabinhian people … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 20 Oct 2011 · 7,751 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPorosity Investigation of Kosova's ClayMakfire Sadiku, Naim Hasani, Altin MeleProblem statement: Acid activated clay minerals are used as catalysts in the desulphurization of crude oil or as catalyst carrier, drilling mud, bleaching earth. Approach: The efficiency of the acid activation can be described in two ways. As increase of the surface and as increase of the cumulative pore volume after the activation. Results: In different samples of the clay … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2011 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
